I got up at 7AM, read my scriptures and said my prayers. I have thought quite a bit as to what I could tell Garrett that would help him. I wish I had the gift of speech, but how do you tell in a few words what you have learned and experienced in almost 2/3rd of a century? I wonder if that hasn’t been a question from the beginning of Adam down and maybe even into the eternities before this life? Mae is still under the weather so I suggested that she go into the Doctor. She agreed so I called Dr. Lee’s office and got her an appointment for 11:30AM. I didn’t know how to handle that time with my scheduled field trip but Mae said that she could drive ok. I consented but had her call me when she got there. I also asked her to call me when she found the results. At 1PM Roberta called to ask if I could take a bus route this afternoon. I reminded her that I already had a Field Trip and she apologized but she also asked about a route for Monday the 11th, to which I accepted. I had no sooner hung up when Mae called and told me that Dr. Lee wants her to go to the emergency entrance of the hospital and be checked for pneumonia. She needs someone to drive her in as she shouldn’t drive. Bob and Carrol are not home so I called Roberta back and told her of the circumstance and that I needed someone to cover my Field Trip. She said that it was ok and for me to take care of my sweetheart. We went into the McKay Dee hospital where they confirmed Dr. Lee’s opinion. We were very impressed with their concerns and service. We came home after they had taken blood tests, taken chess exrays, gave her an antibiotic, an oxygen tank and a prescription. Petersen Medical of Roy brought us an oxygen concentrator for Mae to use until the Dr. says she is ok. Bob took me over to Tanner Clinic so I could get my pickup. I also picked up the prescription and did some grocery shopping. Mae was watching a movie when I got home and after it got over we went to bed.
Saturday, April 02, 2011
I woke at 7:30AM and Mae had slept most of the night. We watched the Saturday Morning Session of General Conference on TV. Bob went into the Dr. this morning and he said that he has Bromidic and gave him a prescription for that. While we were watching Conference Bob went out and mowed the lawns. When he came in he said that he didn’t like the lawnmower. We enjoyed watching the afternoon Conference Session. This evening I attended with Mike, David, Taylor and Scott, the Priesthood Session of conference. Following the conference Scott picked up Kylan and we all went to Broster’s for dinner on Grandpa. I have wanted to do this for some time. I felt bad that I had to leave Mae at home by herself. I was glad that she was ok when I got home. we watched the last of a TV show before going to bed.
Sunday, April 03, 2011
I woke at 7:30 AM but Mae hadn’t slept much last night. After I got up I got Mae to lay down and she did go to sleep for a while. Sister Marie McEntire brought us over some homemade soup as she heard that we had sickness. That was very special of her. This morning session of General Conference was great. Bob and Carroll invited us for dinner but Mae wasn’t able because of her oxygen supply, her medication and her health but I went. After eating they had me take food down to her which she later ate. The afternoon session was just as great as all the others. We noticed that we have a leak still coming from the deck. Brother Glen Ross called and asked us to speak in the 19th Ward on the 24th of April. Mae worked on Family History for a while this evening. we watched a couple of TV shows and went to bed.
Monday, April 04, 2011
I woke at 3:30AM and didn’t get back to sleep until 5AM in the recliner. I woke with Mae in the kitchen about 7:30AM. She had slept most of the night in the spare bedroom, but had slept fairly well. After getting breakfast Bob and I did some repair on the deck, trying to stop the water leak in our sun room. Mae warmed us some lunch and then after cleaning up the kitchen we both took a nap in the recliners. I got on the computer and entered bids for field trips and also entered the bus route I have taken so far. I got on the inter-net and started to schedule some of our summer trips. We are not sure about the timing for Sandi and Nick. We got the time down for Scott’s family and I will try to make those reservations tomorrow. While we ate dinner we watched some western shows on TV. It’s now almost 10PM so we will head to bed.
Tuesday, April 05, 2011
I woke up with a night mire at 2:45AM. I tried to open my IPod but it was almost entirely drained of power. Not being able to get my mind clear I started this entry. I then got tired and went to sleep in the recliner. We got up about 7:30AM. Mae was going to start breakfast but I told her NO. She took a shower and it about did her in. later she did her hair and again she was tired. I took her to an appointment with Dr. Lee at noon. He said that her lungs sound much better but warned her that she should not over do. He told her that it could take up to 1 or 2 months before she would be over it, so be patient. We left there and went to Nancy’s where we got more items. We stoped at the Chuck-A-Rama and ate lunch, although Mae didn’t eat very much. We stopped Cosco, Good Earth, Office Supply and Home depot at which I went in for various items while Mae stayed in the car. Even though she spent most of the time in the car she was still tired when we got home. I fixed us some dinner and we watched a couple of western shows on TV while we ate. I was able to get reservations made for the Buttermilk camp ground in Island Park for us and Scott’s family. I also called Lanny Wilding and we will see if we can work out a night or two to see he and Larue this summer. I got 2010 of my journal printed off and put in a binder. I played a game of Harts and lost before we went to bed.
Wednesday, April 06, 2011
I woke at 3:30AM but finally went back to sleep in the recliner. We got up about 8AM. I made breakfast and tried to make waffles but I didn’t beat the egg whites so they turned out tuff. I installed some shelf in the furnace room. Sister Wanda Miller brought us some stew so we had some of that for lunch. I took the pickup over to Dee’s Service and got it inspected and licensed. While there I noticed that he had a RV in the side yard. I asked him about it and found that it belongs to a customer of his and it is for sale. I looked through it and it looks pretty good. Dee said that he would check it out more and let me know. Bishop Smith called this afternoon to let me know that he had just heard that Mae was sick. He offered any help that he could give. I thanked him but told him that at this time we were ok. I cleaned out the chicken coop and got things about ready for the new chicks. Bob cooked dinner for us. This evening we watched two shows on TV before going to bed.

(rain and Snow)
I woke at 3AM and couldn’t go back to sleep. I got up and worked on my talk for Sunday. Mae came in at 5AM and insisted that I come back to bed and try to sleep. I slept until about 7:30AM and got up again. Mae gave me a hair cut this morning. Last night I had taken Bob up some fish to cook but I didn’t hear anyone up at 9AM so I went up.  We fixed some cereal for breakfast about 9:30AM as I had to leave for a Doctor’s appointment by 10:30AM. About that time Bob knocked and said that breakfast was about ready. I told him that we had eaten and I had to leave. My appointment was just for an annual physical and it went well although I hadn’t come fasting so I will have to return in the morning. I stopped and did some shopping on the way home. It has rained and snowed most of the day. Mae and I took a nap this afternoon. I got on the computer and found that I had been awarded two field trips next week. That will mean that I will drive bus every day next week. I searched through my 2005 journal trying to find out how much we paid for the work trailer but could not find it. Mae tried to find it in Quicken but it doesn’t go back that far. I can see that I leave to much detail out of my entries. Before we went to bed we watched “Winchester 73” on Comcast free movies. As Mae was getting ready for bed she realized that she has broken out with a rash. We don’t know what has caused it unless it is the antibiotic that she has taken.

(snowed)
Both Mae and I slept quite well last night. I went over to Tanner clinic for some blood work and while there I got a Tetanus shot as it has been at least 9 years or maybe much longer since I have had one. In one of the training classes that I took they told us of the importance of getting a Tetanus shot as there is now an antibody in the shot against Whooping Cough. Mae had already had some breakfast when I got home so I got myself a bowl of cereal. This afternoon Mae and I went to Seagull Book and bought a gift for Jesse in honor of her Baptismal tomorrow. We also bought a talk on CD by Meg _____ that we lessened to. That is quite a story! We then went to Peterson Medical and got a second oxygen tank for Mae. We then stopped at Dee’s Service and looked at the RV there. When we got home I got more serious about my talk preparation for next Sunday. Mae prepared us some dinner and when I stopped to eat she asked if we could watch a show on TV while eating? I didn’t get finished with my talk but I think I have a good beginning. It is now after 10PM so we will head for bed.

(Snow)
Both Mae and I slept well again last night. I woke just before that alarm went off. We showered and ate breakfast. By 9 AM we left for Provo to attend the Baptismal for Jessica Joe Browning and her cousin Stewart Jefferson Rust. Mike baptized and confirmed Jessie with Gramps George Stewart and myself as witnesses. Tayler Paige Browning gave a beautiful talk on the Gift of the Holy Ghost. Scott, Mishelle and their children plus Jeff, Gail and their children also came to support Mike and Becky. After the services we went over to the Rust’s where family on both sides gathered for a lunching. When that broke up we followed Mike over to the Orem High School and went inside. This is the school where Mike will be the Principle next year. It is a new building and very nice. Mae was tired but we brought the portable oxygen tank so that helped. When we got north of S.L.C. the traffic soon came to a stand still. When we got to 5th North in Bountiful we took off and went the old highway. I don’t know if we saved any time or not because when we got to Farmington the traffic on the freeway was flowing. After getting home we laid down for a nap but the phone then rang so I jumped up and answered it. I talked with Sandy for a few minutes and then Georgia called. I let Mae sleep and after talking to the two of them I worked on my journal. I then started on my talk again and after dinner Mae watched a DVD movie while I worked on my talk.
Sunday, April 10, 2011
I woke about 7AM and got ready for church. I let Mae sleep in longer as I don’t think it would be good for her to go to church today. I attended Priesthood meeting in our ward and then came back home. I attended the 10th Ward Sacrament meeting and spoke with Brother Roper of the High Council. Bob and Carroll invited us for dinner. Bob had prepared a nice roast and it sure tasted good for a change from chicken. This afternoon we relaxed and took a nap. I worked on a talk for two weeks from today. We have two High Councilman, which are asking us to speak with them on the 24th. Depending on how Mae is feeling, maybe I will have to give both talks. I have a bus route to take tomorrow so we will go to bed early tonight.
Monday, April 11, 2011
I woke shortly after mid-night and tried to sleep in the recliner the rest of the night. The clocks chiming woke me every hour until 5am when I got up. I fixed my breakfast and then put my bids in for next week. I got to the bus compound on time but when I checked the oil in the bus it was almost out. I had to get a mechanic to add the oil and that put me 25 minutes late leaving for my route. None of the youth we at the bus stops when I got there except the last stop. I took those youth to school but during the mean time I missed my Jr. High run. That got covered by other drivers. I did get my Elementary youth in and then took a field trip. That went well except they were late returning. I still made it for the afternoon runs. I stopped on the way home and got my baby chicks. Bob had dinner of liver and onions ready when I got home. I got my chicks settled and then showered and got ready for Bob and I to go Home Teaching. I made my bus entries on the time sheets and then filled out this entry. Mae went into the Dr. this afternoon and he said that she is really doing well. She should be able to get by without the oxygen before long. She is sure special and sure takes care of me. She had me a lunch for today and my breakfast ready for me this morning. This evening she has my breakfast about ready for me for tomorrow. It is almost 10PM so I need to get to bed.
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
I drove bus 433 again today and thought that I was doing better. Rosa called me on the radio and ask me to stop and see her after I finished the morning route. I did and she wanted to talk to me about why I left my first stop 5 minutes late. I explained that the youth were not at the stop on the route and we found that the route sheet had been changed but my sheets were not. That put me behind and so it carried to the Jr. High schedule and on that run I took a wrong turn and that put me even late getting the kids to school. I thought that I made up the time for the grade school but it just took me longer than is scheduled and I was late there. after getting a new route sheet from Rosa I drove the route for the High school in my car. Mae soon had lunch ready for me when I got home. Mae and I took a nap. I got mixed up on my High School out route and lost 5 to 10 minutes taking them home so I was late to the Jr. High. I lost another 5 minutes on a wrong turn and so was over 15 minutes late getting to the grade school. They had called the bus shop, so all in all it was a bad day. This evening Mae went to the Book Club. I tried to find a TV show to watch but there wasn’t much. David called and we decided that we will get together with David and Shauna Friday evening. I got a call from the bus shop and they want me to take a different route tomorrow. That’s ok with me. I straightened some of my papers. Mae came home just as I found a decent western show so we watched that before going to bed.
Thursday, April 14, 2011
I went in at 5:50 am and took the route sheets for bus 433. I just couldn’t feel good at leaving the driver without what changes I had found on that route. I came home and ate and returned at 7AM to take a sub run on bus 49. That rune went very well. I also took that route this afternoon and again it went well. In between runs I helped Bob go to R.C. Willies and get a love seat. I got a ½ hour nap also. Mae went to Jennies for some pills and then went shopping for wedding gifts for Caleb and Mishelle. When I got home we did some checking for a motor home. Bob and I also went Home Teaching at Therman’s. I filled in payroll information after returning from there and before we went to bed.
Friday, April 15, 2011
I was up early to take a bus run. After getting home from the morning run I took a nap and then Bob had us up for lunch. This afternoon run also went very well. I stopped and got a few groceries for Mae on my way home. I started this entry while Mae was talking to Samantha on the phone. I helped Mae finish the dinner and get the table set. Jeff brought his family over to see the chicks but they didn’t stay as David’s family is coming this evening. We had a nice evening playing games before they left for home. Mae and I watched a show on DVD before going to sleep.
Saturday, April 16, 2011
We slept in and I was discouraged as we decided that it was not wise at this time to buy a travel home. Jeff called and so when Mae went with the girls to attend a wedding shower for Mishelle (Kalab’s bride to be), I went over to Jeff’s and we started plans to repair his tree house. This evening we attended our Stake adult meeting for Stake Conference. It was really a good meeting. I am going to miss not attending tomorrows session. Mae and I watched a movie “Fire Down Below” on TV before going to bed. I couldn’t help wondering why I have been blessed with a testimony of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith and the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and there are so many that have never heard such wonderful teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Rained
We got up early and had to hurry to be ready when the Clarks came to get us. We drove up to Rexburg where we attended the Ward where the Maharry’s live and enjoyed their mission report. After the meeting we were invited to lunch at the Maharry’s before we returned home. it has been good being with the Clark’s. Bob came down and informed us that President Puffer was sustained as the new Stake President. He didn’t know the 1st Counselor but the 2nd Counselor is Bishop Steadman. We ate and then got ready for bed.

Rained
I had planned on planting the garden but it has rained most of the night and the garden is to muddy. I tried to find a garage that would fix my pickup. I tried to call Brad but it just went to his answering service. Mae called Brad and this time he answered and gave her the name and address for Lancer Auto in Salt Lake. I called and took the pickup down to him. Bob followed me down and brought me back. We went into to the Harrisville area and looked at a Motor Home but I am afraid that it is way out of my price range. I called the bus driver on the route I have been asked to drive tomorrow and found out that I will have a sub-assistant in the morning. This evening Mae and I went to a violin recital that Emily participated in. It was very good and Emily is doing very good. When we got home I tried to find directions for the route I am driving tomorrow but the directions are very confusing. I will have to go into the dispatch in the morning and get a map to give me directions. It had been quite a frustrating day.
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
I took a Special Ed. Route this morning and although I also had a sub-assistant we made out ok. Mae was out weeding the rose gardens when I got home and though I tried to get her to quite she completed the job. I took the same route in return after school but this time I had the regular assistant. Mae and I went to Salt Lake to get me pickup but when we got there it was not quite done, waiting for some parts to come in. We stopped in Bountiful and ate at the Chuck-A-Rama. I sure enjoy being with Mae. When we got home I worked a few minutes on the computer and then Mae and I watched a show on TV, “Reap the Wild Wind” before going to bed.
Wednesday, April 20, 2011
I slept in until 8AM. After breakfast Bob went with me to S.L.C. to get my pickup. They gave it a full tune up which cost $500.25 and he is going to talk to the CNG dealer and try to get me a used CNG tank. When I got home Mae was out working in the yard. We tried to get the weed eater to work but gave up and went to Wal-Mart and bought a gas operated one. I took a bus route this afternoon that went well. This evening I trimmed the yard and then mowed the lawn. Bob is concerned about the lawn mower but I thought it worked ok. It was 8:45PM when we quite and came into the house. Mae was outside helping me. We showered and then watched a DVD before going to bed.

(Rain and hail)
I woke about 5AM and went back to sleep in the recliner until 6 when Mae woke. We were just starting breakfast when Scott called to see if Mae could help with the children as Mishelle is down with another migraine headache. We hurried with breakfast and Mae went over. While doing up the dishes from breakfast I made some almond butter. I then mowed the front lawn. Bob and I then went into Ogden to look at a motor home Bob had seen at Roy’s Car and RV’s. It was a fair buy and had quite low millage but not quite what we would like. He had a large 40’ RV with a pop out that was beautiful for $35,000 that was a great buy but really too large and still out of our range. While in Ogden I did some other grocery shopping at the health stores. It really stormed on us before we finished. When I got home I fixed something for lunch and took a ½ hour nap. I then worked on my talk until Mae got home at 5PM. She was tired so I fixed some dinner and then I helped her boil and color eggs. We watched a couple of western shows on TV while we did the eggs.
Friday, April 22, 2011
I got up at 6AM and got ready to go over to Jeff’s to help him. Mae didn’t feel very good so I had her stay in bed. That didn’t last very long. I took my ice auger and rented a fence post auger at Universal Rental. Jeff and I dug 4 - 12 inches holes about 36” deep under their tree house. My plans are to pour these with concrete and then use them to support the tree house. The augers worked very well with the exception of one hole and it had some heavy roots that we had to cut out. This afternoon we went to Home Depot for some material.  I did order some materials at Intermountain Concrete Specialties. Jeff and I took some junk to the dumps and then while we had the trailer we got 3 yards of bark and took up to David. This evening Gail invited Mae and I over for dinner and then after putting the children to bed we played some games. It was after 11PM when we got home.
Saturday, April 23, 2011
It looked like rain this morning but it never did and Mae’s prayers were answered. I took the grill apart this morning to find what I need to repair it. Mae had breakfast ready by then so we ate and then I went to Lowe’s to get the parts. I repaired the grill, planted and weeded the garden, took a nap after lunch and then helped Mae get ready for the Family Easter party. All of our boys and their families were able to come. It was fun but both Mae and I were worn out when they all left.  The boys went over to get a drink so I went with them. While they were getting their drinks I got me a Frozen Yogurt but I shouldn’t have because my feet and legs hurt the rest of the night. Mae was so good to rub my feet and then put liniment on them so that they would relax. We both slept well.
Sunday, April 24, 2011
We both started doing more studying on our talks. We attended our Wards Priesthood and Relief Society meetings but then left to attend meetings in the Wards we were asked to speak in. I spoke in the 27th Wards Sacrament meeting and this afternoon Mae spoke in the 19th Wards Sacrament meeting. Bob prepared dinner for us in between meetings. He is special at doing that. This evening Mae and I went upstairs where we played a game of Canasta with Bob and I against Mae and Carroll. The first hand Bob and I really had a good hand but that was the last and our wife’s won us so badly that we didn’t even add up the last hand. After coming down stairs I sent a e-mail to Shellie with the name and addresses of some of my nieces and nephews so they would have them for sending out wedding invitations. We started to watch a DVD of Truman Madsen’s on the Life of Christ, but became to tired so we went to bed.
Monday, April 25, 2011
(Rain)
We got up about 5:30AM and neither of us could go back to sleep so we stayed up. After breakfast I got on the computer and bid for next week’s field trips. Bob and I went over to R. C. Willie’s and got the dishwasher that Bob and Carroll had bought. Mae had chicken casserole ready for lunch so we took it upstairs and shared with Bob and Carroll. I spent the rest of the afternoon installing the dishwasher. Mae and I took a ride up to East Cannon Reservoir just to see how the water is doing. It is still down 20 feet from the spillway but they are letting it out the bottom about as fast as they can to control the lake level. It was a nice ride and we enjoyed the being together. We stopped at David’s for a little while and took some desert to them for F.H.E. When we got home I went out to the garden and covered many of the plants as it may get quite cold tonight. This weather is getting quite depressing.

(Rain, snow, hail & cold)
I woke at 1AM with my right hand and arm hurting. I took some Ibuprofem and went to sleep in the recliner. At 2AM the clock woke me so I removed the battery from the clock. I then slept until 5AM and got up. I cuddled back in bed with Mae and slept about another hour. After breakfast I got ready to go to Jeff’s to work on his project but Bob told Mae that their dishwasher did not work. I spent another couple of hours checking it out and then called the service center. There was another 45 minutes to an hour and then nothing happened so I will have to call back tomorrow. I worked over at Jeff’s until 5PM and was tired when I got home. Mae took Sister Olson into a Doctor’s appointment this morning and was there most of the morning. Mae had dinner ready and then I took a nap. Mae then gave me a haircut and I took a shower. We watched a movie “Secretarit” on DVD before going to bed, we really enjoyed it.
Wednesday, April 27, 2011
I got up about 6:30AM. After reading my scriptures, saying my morning prayers, getting on the Tzona and stretching, I when upstairs and called the appliance center for Bob and Carroll to get a technician to repair their dishwasher. I spent quite a while trying to find motels going and returning from Arizona but Mae wasn’t happy at the prices until I became frustrated with that and quite. Then Mae wanted me to work on Family History but I was still too upset to understand that. I took a nap and then called on getting our computer repaired. The extended warranty with Staples said that the problem had occurred during the coverage of H.P. so they wouldn’t cover it. H.P. said that their warranty had expired so they couldn’t repair our computer. All in all I think we got the shaft. Bob cooked liver and onions for lunch but I was on the phone until my lunch was about cold but it was still good. I went up to Universal Rental and rented a cement mixer. From there I went to the bus shop to see what bus I have for tomorrow’s field trip. Bus 11 and 327 are available but bus 327 would not run for me and neither bus has the proper wheel chair restraints so I went back to dispatch. Every one that can help me had gone for the day. I will have to come in early tomorrow to see what I am to do. I went to Sherrie’s where I borrowed Eric’s trailer. Next I went to Home Depot and got the glue lam beams and some 4 X 4’s for Jeff’s job. I got to Jeff’s just after 5PM. Jeff and I mixed the cement and poured the 4 concrete pillars under their tree house. We finished and I got home at 8:30PM very tired. I showered and filled in this journal entry and we went to bed.
Thursday, April 28, 2011
I took a field trip this morning. I took the Special Ed. Youth from Syracuse High School to Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake. It went very well except the lift didn’t work on the bus on the return trip. I spent some time entering my bus time on the computer. This evening Mae had prepared dinner and invited Dee Francum and Richard Larson to eat with us. We enjoyed a nice dinner and then set and visited for a while. I entered this entry and then we watched a J.A.G. series before going to bed.

Dearest ( name),
I am personalizing this letter to each of you but each of my children will receive the same letter.
Last night just before we went to bed, your Mother briefly discussed some of the challenges that you, our children, are having. With those thoughts sleep left me. By 11:30PM I had to remove my air mask and set up. I was gasping for air and was shaking uncontrollably. By midnight I knew that I would not be able to drive the bus route that was assigned to me in the morning. I knew that I would have to call the emergency bus line and report that I was unable to complete that assignment but I could not get control of myself to be able to make the call. At 12:30AM I woke your mother and told her that she would have to make the call for me.
I do not think that I was having a heart attack, maybe it was an anxiety attack but it continued. Your mother wanted to call or take me to the hospital but I refused. She finally got me into the front room and set me in a recliner. She covered me up to keep me warm and remained with me trying to comfort and care for me. I finally broke into crying and that slowly broke the uncontrollable shaking and gasping for air. I finally got Mom to go back to bed, although I am not sure she has gone back to sleep. I knelt in prayer, pleading for help and literally asked my Heavenly Father to let me die. The answer came and I was chastened that I had no right to ask for that. Christ was the only one that had that right and he did it for each of us. Not knowing what else to ask for, I set back in the rocker. Whether or not I slept I am not sure. I recognized that your mother came in to check on me at 4:30AM. I was awake when she came in. My thoughts turned to this letter and so I am now compiling it.
Here are my feelings: Some of you have already asked about what we would like for a Christmas gift. Here is my request (and this includes all other events between now and Christmas) I do not want any thing physical but I want each of you to do two things for me. I want each of you to sincerely read the Book of Mormon, followed by Moroni’s instruction to sincerely ask of God; and second I want you to listen to the talk given by Jack R. Christianson, “Doubt not, Fear not” at least twice.
I believe that as your Father I have the right to ask for this gift
I sincerely love you more than I can express.
You’re Father,
Friday, April 29, 2011
The above letter was written between 4AM & 7AM. My feelings are that I will send a copy to each of my children. Mae asked me if I would give her a little time for her to get her feelings and answer to prayer, before I send the letters out. I told her that I would. I did go back to sleep after 7AM and slept until 10AM. After eating breakfast I took the trailer back down to Sherrie’s. When Bob and I returned, the Maytag Appliance service man was here. After checking out the machine he found out that it is malfunctioning and he will order a new computer board. However Bob and Carroll have a decision to make as to whether they want him to repair it or have R.C. Willy’s install a new one. I was going to get my boat out and get it ready but it is too cold outside today. I called Roberta at the bus shop and apologized that I had to have Mae call in this morning. I also got the run for May 4th straightened out. Mae left about 11AM giving me the idea that she was meeting with Georgia for lunch. However she called Scott and met him for lunch. She took a copy of my letter (I have now made some minor revisions to the letter) and gave it to Scott. Maybe that is the best way to handle it and I doubt if I send the letter out as I had intended. This evening we watched a JAG series before going to bed.

(unseasonal cold)
We attended the wedding of Caleb Joseph Porter and Michelle Lee Stark in the Salt Lake Temple and that was such beautiful council and ceremony. After the wedding we went out for pictures and it was very cold. We had forgotten to bring our camera so hopefully others will send us some copies. We rode with Rick and Georgia so when we got back to their place they invited us in. we just enjoyed visiting together. We attended the Wedding Breakfast and that was very nice. It was held at the same building in which we had Jeff and Gail’s so that brought back memories. Mae went with me into Ogden to look at the motor home that Bob and I had seen last week. We also saw a car that Jeanenne might want to look at. There was a slid in camper that we also looked at. We got back just in time to attend the Wedding Reception. We enjoyed that and enjoyed visiting with extended family. Jeff and Gail also attended and invited us to their place afterwards. We had fun playing Rook with them but it was a different game this time. We were very tired when we got home so went right to bed.


[gecode-users] Heap memory exhaustion

The application is a schedule generator for non-preemptive real-time
distributed systems.
It ends up as a fairly large collection of global serialization constraints
and arithmetic constraints (both equality and inequality). There is also a
little bit of disjunction in some cases, but the case I was working with
here didn't have any disjunctive constraints. Before building the model
there was a procedure to try and infer a good level of discretization for
the problem, but today I replaced that with a resolution parameter specified
by the user. Obviously the discretization was too aggressive :-(
Thanks again for all of your help,
-Joe

NRRD header and data such as {header: Object, data: TypedArray }
This is the mapping from the NRRD datatype as written in the NRRD header to the JS typed array equivalent.
The Toolbox is a set of static methods to extract some data from a parsed NRRD
using the header
and/or the data
as returned by nrrdjs.parse(...)
.
The NRRD format does not make any assumption about the naming of the axis (X, Y, Z, A, B, C, etc.) but for the sake of accessibility, the Toolbox assumes that if there is more than 1 components per voxel (ex: RGB), they are encoded on the fastest axis. Otherwise:
X
is encoded on the fastest axisZ
is encoded on the slowest axisY
is encoded in betweenZ
Note: the fast axis is the one where element along it are contiguous on the buffer (stride: 1)

Serves 4
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
For the shellfish vierge, heat the olive oil in a large, high-sided sauté pan. Add half the shallots and sweat for one minute, then add the shellfish and white wine and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down, cover the pan and simmer for 3-4 minutes until all the shells have opened. (Discard any that don't open.)
Remove the shellfish from the pan and reserve the cooking liquid. Once the shellfish has cooled slightly, pick the meat from half of the shells and set aside, discarding the shells.
Heat the olive oil in frying pan over a low heat, add the remaining shallots and garlic and heat for one minute. Add the tomatoes and heat for a further two minutes. Add the picked shellfish, the shellfish still in its shell, and 3-4 tbsp of the cooking liquid and heat through.
Stir in the herbs, lemon zest and juice, and season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
For the cod, season the cod fillet, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Heat half the olive oil in an ovenproof frying pan, place the cod in, skin side down, and fry for 1-2 minutes until the skin is crisp. Turn the cod over and fry on the other side for one minute. Transfer to the oven and roast in the oven for 6-8 minutes, until the cod is cooked through and opaque.
Heat the remaining olive oil in a separate frying pan, add the courgettes and thyme and sauté for 2-3 minutes until light golden-brown and tender. Season, to taste, with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
To serve, place the cod in the centre of the plate and the courgettes around. Spoon the shellfish vierge over and around the cod.


The DB->join function provides logical join functionality. While not strictly a cursor function, in that it is not a method off a cursor handle, it is more related to the cursor functions than to the standard DB functions.
The DB->join function requires that your data be organized as a primary database which contains the primary key and primary data field, and a set of secondary databases. Each of the secondary databases is indexed by a different secondary key, and, for each key in a secondary database, there is a set of duplicate data items that match the primary keys in the primary database.
What the DB->join function does is review a list of secondary keys, and, when it finds a data item that appears as a data item for all of the secondary keys, it uses that data items as a lookup into the primary database, and returns the associated data item.
For example, consider a database that lists types of fruit as the key item, and the store where you can buy them as the data item:
Key: Data: apple Convenience Store peach Shopway pear Farmer's Market raspberry Shopway strawberry Farmer's Market blueberry Farmer's Market
A secondary index might have a key color, and, as the data items, the list of fruits of different colors.
Key: Data: red apple, raspberry, strawberry yellow peach, pear blue blueberry
This secondary index would allow an application to look up a color, and then use the data items to look up the stores where the colored fruit could be purchased, e.g., by first looking up blue, the data item blueberry could be used as the lookup key in the primary database, returning Farmer's Market.
If there were a another secondary index that had as its key the cost of the fruit, a similar lookup could be done on stores where inexpensive fruit could be purchased:
Key: Data: expensive blueberry, peach, pear, strawberry inexpensive apple, pear, raspberry
The DB->join function, makes it possible to do lookups based on multiple criteria in a single operation, e.g., it would be possible to look up fruits that were both red and expensive in a single operation. If the same fruit appeared as a data item in both the color and expense indices, then that fruit name would be used as the key for retrieval from the primary index, and would then return the store where expensive, red fruit could be purchased.
Consider the following three databases:
Consider the following query:
Return all smiths who are managers.
What is desired are all the records in the primary database (personnel) for whom the criteria lastname=smith, job title=manager is true.
Assume that all databases have been properly opened and have the handles: pers_db, name_db, job_db. Assume that we have an active transaction referenced by the handle txn.
DBC *name_curs, *job_curs, *join_curs; DBC *carray[3]; DBT key, data; int ret, tret;name_curs = NULL; job_curs = NULL; memset(&key, 0, sizeof(key)); memset(&data, 0, sizeof(data));
if ((ret = name_db->cursor(name_db, txn, &name_curs)) != 0) goto err; key.data = "smith"; key.size = sizeof("smith"); if ((ret = name_curs->c_get(name_curs, &key, &data, DB_SET)) != 0) goto err;
if ((ret = job_db->cursor(job_db, txn, &job_curs)) != 0) goto err; key.data = "manager"; key.size = sizeof("manager"); if ((ret = job_curs->c_get(job_curs, &key, &data, DB_SET)) != 0) goto err;
carray[0] = name_curs; carray[1] = job_curs; carray[2] = NULL;
if ((ret = pers_db->join(pers_db, carray, 0, &join_curs)) != 0) goto err;
while ((ret = join_curs->c_get(join_curs, &key, &data, 0)) == 0) { /* Process record returned in key/data. */ }
/* * If we exited the loop because we ran out of records, * then it has completed successfully. */ if (ret == DB_NOTFOUND) ret = 0;
err: if (join_curs != NULL && (tret = join_curs->c_close(join_curs)) != 0 && ret == 0) ret = tret; if (name_curs != NULL && (tret = name_curs->c_close(name_curs)) != 0 && ret == 0) ret = tret; if (job_curs != NULL && (tret = job_curs->c_close(job_curs)) != 0 && ret == 0) ret = tret; return (ret);

#### What did we learn in general and you need to know ? - Always run on less no of nodes . It will tell us the failures early and give better distribution of load causing less network i/o for shuffles. - Caching a view that is going to be used multiple time is helpful. For **smaller** table
**broadcast**
, for slight larger table
**cache**
. - Always run UDF on smaller views. Pass only the
**needed**
columns and zip it back. - WARNING : Caching large table throws
**NegativeArraySizeException**
.
#### Analyze DAG : Claim Affiliate : Before
#### Analyze DAG : Claim Affiliate : After
#### What did we learn when bucketing and you need to know ? - **df.saveAsTable** default implementation creates **N** partitions
**multiply**
**M** buckets equals **X** files. - Hence a force repartition is necessary to mitigate the difference in hive bucketing vs spark bucketing. - **df.repartition()** followed by **saveAsTable** runs in multiple stages and causes lot of errors during execution.
#### Use SQL API to bucket ``` CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS claims USING PARQUET CLUSTERED BY claimuid,memberuid SORTED BY claimuid,memberuid INTO 800 BUCKETS LOCATION '{target_path}' AS SELECT * from claims_raw DISTRIBUTE BY claimuid, memberuid ```
#### Checkpoints : Why do we need them ? - To deal with spark
**long lineage**

**thinking**
back from how the pipeline started. - Initially we started pipeline with bucketed or partitioned data and in the middle we checkpoint that
**erases**
information and cause lot of trouble during downstream feature engineering stages. -
**Now we checkpoint with bucket and reload so you don't have to worry about it.**
#### UDF : The invocation is non deterministic ? -
**Unit**
test will have no problem. -
**Sample**
will have no problem. -
**Terabyte** and **Billions** records

#### UDF : How do we fix it ? - We did
**eager execution**
via caching or checkpoint to deal with it. - How to identify ? Read the graph or explain plan. - Lets see the demo in the **end**.
#### Windowing and Group By - Window functions can be avoided by using group by. - It should be avoided for larger views as to implement this window functions spark will reshuffle the data. - Its better to cache before applying such operation.
**if and only if**
- They are complex and doing a lot of operations and aggregations. - Experience, learn and apply.

News story
Research reveals that GCSE pupils' reading compares unfavourably with pupils in Shanghai, Korea and Finland.
GCSE pupils’ reading is more than a year behind the standard of their peers in Shanghai, Korea and Finland, research reveals today.
Fifteen-year-olds in England are also at least six months behind those in Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and Australia, according to the Department for Education’s (DfE) analysis of the OECD’s 2009 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) study.
To match the attainment of pupils from Shanghai in the reading assessment:
The DfE’s PISA 2009 Study: How Big is the Gap? highlights how far England has slipped behind other nations in reading.
Schools Minister Nick Gibb said that the Government was taking urgent action to ensure England could match those countries which had closed the gap between the achievements of rich and poor pupils, while raising the attainment of all.
He said:
The gulf between our 15-year-olds’ reading abilities and those from other countries is stark - a gap that starts to open in the very first few years of a child’s education. The Government’s focus on raising standards of reading in the early years of primary school is key to closing that gap.
We are introducing a phonics check for six-year-olds, so those with reading problems can be identified before it is too late and can be given the extra help they need to catch up.
Having learnt to read, they can then go on to read to learn, and to read for pleasure. Almost 40 per cent of pupils in England never read for enjoyment. The difference in reading ability between these pupils and those who read for just half an hour a day is equivalent to a year’s schooling at age 15.
We are also bringing in a new spelling, punctuation, grammar and vocabulary test for 11-year-olds and are re-introducing marks for spelling, punctuation and grammar in relevant GCSE exams.
Nick Gibb added:
Our writers - Charles Dickens and Charlotte Bronte, George Orwell and Ian McEwan - are the finest in the world. It is time we are also among the best readers in the world.
The DfE analysis also calculates the reading gap in terms of GCSE grades. It puts Shanghai’s 15-year-olds the equivalent of 11 GCSE grades ahead of our pupils, while Korea’s are eight grades better off. Those in Finland and Hong Kong are seven grades ahead.
This means that while a typical pupil at the end of Key Stage 4 in England achieves eight C grades in their best eight GCSEs or equivalent exams, one in Shanghai would score three As and five Bs in their best eight GCSEs - a total of 11 grades better off.
| Reading strand | |||
| Difference in pupil attainment… | |||
| Comparison Country 1 | …in GCSE grades | …in % pupils achieving 5 A*-C (inc. English and Maths) | …in years' progress |
| Shanghai – China | 11 | 22% | 1.5 |
| Korea | 8 | 16% | 1.1 |
| Finland | 7 | 16% | 1 |
| Hong Kong - China | 7 | 15% | 0.9 |
| Singapore | 6 | 13% | 0.7 |
| Canada | 5 | 13% | 0.7 |
| New Zealand | 5 | 13% | 0.7 |

The OECD PISA studies compare the abilities of pupils across a number of countries. The studies in 2000, 2003 and 2006 focused on reading, maths and science respectively.
The 2009 study returned to reading as the main focus but also looked at maths and science. In the former, 20 countries scored significantly higher than England, with Shanghai top. England was also out-scored by Estonia, Iceland, Denmark and Slovenia. In science, Shanghai again leads the rankings. Estonia and Australia are among the nine other countries significantly ahead of England’s 15-year-olds.
Across all three strands, England has tumbled down the international tables in the last nine years - from 7th to 25th in reading; 8th to 28th in maths; and 4th to 16th in science.
The research shows that high-performing nations have the following in common. They:
The DfE analysis of the OECD PISA 2009 study can be found in the publications section of our website.
The full OECD PISA 2009 study , including a UK note, can be found on the OECD website.
OECD PISA has taken place every three years since 2000. It assesses the knowledge and skills of pupils coming towards the end of compulsory schooling (Year 11 equivalent) in reading, mathematics and science, using specially developed tests.
PISA 2009 focused on reading. The study was carried out in England on behalf of the Department by the National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER). A total of 4,081 pupils across 165 schools in England participated, including independent schools and academies in proportion to their numbers nationally.
PISA splits China into different jurisdictions - Shanghai-China and Hong Kong-China.

The Institute of the Good Shepherd is a Society of Apostolic Life of Pontifical Right established in 2006 under the pontificate and with the support of Pope Benedict XVI. The members of the Institute are secular priests, but live the common life in the houses of the Institute. The sacerdotal spirituality of the Institute is based on the qualities of Jesus the Good Shepherd who does not cease to go after the lost sheep with a pastoral zeal filled with charity and mercy. The goal of the Institute is the sanctification of its members and the sanctification of the souls for the greater glory of God.
The Institute of the Good Shepherd has for its specific mission, entrusted by the Holy See, the propagation within the Church of the liturgical and doctrinal treasures of the Catholic Tradition. To this end, the priests of the Institute are at the service of the dioceses to take on any type of traditional apostolate.
Its mission is characterized firstly, by the exclusive use of the traditional roman liturgical books of 1962 (Extraordinary Form of the roman rite) in all of its liturgical acts. In the sense of the instruction Universae Ecclesiae (2011), the Institute aims to make accessible to all the faithful the richness of the Usus Antiquior, in order to take part in the renewal of Christian fervor as required for a re-evangelization which, to be fruitful, has to be rooted in Tradition.
For the members of the Institute, the traditional liturgy and the theological formation based on the doctrine of Saint Thomas Aquinas - recommended so many times by the popes - are irreplaceable resources for the personal good of the priest and of the souls entrusted to him.
The apostolate of the Institute is diverse comprising: parishes, chaplaincies, schools, spiritual retreats, charities, etc… Anything that aims to the good of the souls may be included in the ministry of our priests. Presently the Institute has houses in five countries: France, Poland, Italy, Brazil, and Colombia. And with your help, support and prayer in North America!


class: middle # Docker-driven CI/CD on the cluster By Tenor https://github.com/l8d/rcwk2-slides https://l8d.github.io/rcwk2-slides ??? Hello! I am Tenor. Today I'm going to give an overview of my plan for a very do-it-yourself approach to setting up a docker-driven continuous integration and continuous deployment workflow. I believe there are a lot of ways to improve a lot of day-to-day tasks that are commonplace when your project is well-automated. --- class: middle # I have a dream --- class: middle # I have a dream: docker --- class: middle # I have a dream: docker at RC ??? Let's talk about development workflow --- class: middle # CI workflow ![the dream part 1](images/thedream-1.png) ??? We start with code on your development machine. The best way to commit some code the network is by typing "git push" of course. --- class: middle # CI workflow ![the dream part 2](images/thedream-2.png) ???  For most of us, we are usually pushing straight to GitHub. --- class: middle # CI workflow ![the dream part 3](images/thedream-3.png) ??? So after your new commits are on the new git server, we can kick off the build. This is usually taken care of by a continuous integration service. This is usually the step of the workflow where your automation happens. I put a picture of Jenkins because it's a pretty widespread CI server but it is not very friendly to learn or debug if you're familiar with Java or Groovy. --- class: middle # CI workflow ![the dream part 4](images/thedream-4.png) ??? After your build is done, you usually have build artifacts! These can be the static assets that have been optimized by the build process, or entire binary files or pretty much anything that needs to be publically accessible for the purpose of deployment. Amazon S3 is a staple industrial tool for just storing files. That is usually where our CI servers put the files. --- class: middle # CI workflow ![the dream part 5](images/thedream-5.png) --- class: middle # CI/CD? ![the dream part 5](images/thedream-5.png) ??? This talk is not just about continuous integration, but also continuous deployment. So we're missing the last step in this process which is actually deploying our code somewhere. --- class: middle # CI/CD? ![the dream part 6](images/thedream-6.png) --- class: middle # CI/CD? ![the dream part 7](images/thedream-7.png) ??? This is my abstract representation of that step. It usually just a few lines of glew code, but we just as with every other step, we have to make decisions about what we choose to glue together. --- class: middle # I have a dream --- class: middle # I have a dream: self-sufficiency ??? I think improving the state-of-the-art for FOSS is incredibly important in helping the public foster their own communities with freedom from companies that offer the best off-the-shelf solutions. I believe Recurse Center is a great place to explore this philosophy and try to provide open-source tools for the community. --- class: middle ![the dream part 8](images/thedream-8.png) ??? So let's zoom in on a continuation of the last step. This big red deploy button. --- class: middle ![the dream part 9](images/thedream-9.png) ??? I did say this talk was about deploying on the community cluster so I think that is the obvious first place to go about this. --- class: middle # Deploying docker to a community cluster? ![the dream part 10](images/thedream-10.png) ??? As it turns out, there is no out-of-the-box support for starting a new CI/CD pipeline with docker. There is probably a lot of glue work involved in setting this up for just one project. The main problem we need to overcome is the lack of root access that is available on the community machines. --- class: middle # Deploying docker to a community cluster? ![the dream part 8](images/thedream-8.png) ??? However, I believe there are some tools that are effective at providing a platform for deployment in flexible host environments. If we can successfully build something that works for everyone, then you can just use the community CI/CD pipeline and never worry about having to SSH into your account to fix deployment bugs. --- class: middle # Deploying docker to a community cluster? ![the dream part 11](images/thedream-11.png) ??? So I think Kubernetes is the first interesting tool to try in this case. It has out-of-the-box support for docker and I hope it is easy to glue to a couple other things. --- class: middle # Deploying docker to a community cluster? ![the dream part 12](images/thedream-12.png) ??? The other industrial-ready option seems to be Mesos with Marathon. Both of these tools are equipped to faciliate a variety of hardware. They both have extensive documentation on how to hook deployment steps into your build servers. --- class: middle # Uploading to a community bucket? ![the dream part 7](images/thedream-7.png) ??? On the topic of self-sufficiency, it's not hard to host your own git server or just use GitHub, and there are a lot of self-hosted solutions for CI including Jenkins. However, Amazon S3 is operated by one of the largest companies in the US. --- class: middle # Uploading to a community bucket? ![the dream part 13](images/thedream-13.png) ??? If we want to promote software that enables self-sufficient communities, we need to find other solutions that we can power with our own hardware. It's also a great way to learn. --- # I have a dream --- # I have a dream ![the dream part 15](images/thedream-15.png) ??? the "dat" or "dee ayy tee" protocol is a really revolutionary new technology. It has the potentional to enable the entire world to share files and documents safely and securely without relying on private data centers. We no longer will need tools like S3 if a protocol like Dat is as widespread as HTTP. recurse.mesh is just something I made up. It does not exist yet but I will be buying a few mesh devices and finding ways to host Dat servers on them. --- class: middle # Uploading to a community bucket? ![the dream part 13](images/thedream-13.png) ??? So given this new awesome technology, I think we know exactly how to overthrow our Amazon overlords. --- class: middle # Uploading to a community bucket? ![the dream part 14](images/thedream-14.png) ??? So here's the crazy part. What if our entire pipeline was hosted on the communty cluster? We can make all of the data available to every Recurser everywhere, and we can use a mesh network to completely eliminate the overhead of platform-as-a-service. --- class: middle # Dat project - https://datproject.org/ - https://www.datprotocol.com/ - https://beakerbrowser.com/ - https://try-dat.com/ --- class: middle ![sudomesh](images/sudomesh.jpg) - https://sudoroom.org/wiki/Mesh


We'll create a HotDocs computation to check if column 'A' is equal to column 'B', and if so set column 'C' to TRUE. We'll skip row 1 and start the computations on row 2.
Please note: you must match the type of Column A and B.
Use quotes
to surround the value in column B if
if the value is text and column 'A' is of type text/multiple choice with text. Leave quotes off if both are numbers or true/false values.

SQL Server Profiler Best Practices and Tuning Advisory
SQL Profiler is a great tool that allows you to see what’s going on inside SQL Server. You can find out what your worst performing queries are, how often a query is executed etc.
To implement best posible indexes do the 3 step process:
- Collect current workload information
- Determine if indexes are appropriate as per work load using Profiler
- Update indexes using Tuning advisor
The profiler automates collection of workload data and the tuning advisor takes the workload data generated by the profiler and come up with appropriate indexes. To trace on specific database use the column filter feature. Start the trace with tuning template and save the trace data to a trace file.
Using Tuning advisor
- Click on tools
- Click Database Engine Tuning advisor
- Provide the trace file
- Select the database on which the trace needs to be executed
- In the tuning options, go to advanced options maximum space for recommendation can be specified
- Click Start analysis
The results shows how much improvement can be done if the suggestions are implemented:
It has a definition column as well which shows what to implement to improve speed of the database like for example:
The SQL Profiler best practices:
- Never run SQL Profiler on the database server
- Trace directly to a file, instead of tracing to a table
- Filter the results, such as “Duration > 1000”
- Include only the events that you are interested in, such as
SP:Completed
andSQL:BatchCompleted
- Use filters like user name, server name & application name, etc
- Run SQL Profiler on a remote system
- Save trace events to a rollover file of a predefined size
- Don’t capture showplan event for long periods of time to avoid very large files
- Create templates for quick access
- For tuning purposes, use the recommended tuning template
How to capture deadlocks using SQL Server Profiler:
To capture a deadlock, first connect to a SQL Server database. To open the SQL Profiler in SQL Server Management Studio:
- Click on Tools
- Click on SQL Server Profiler
- Connect to the server on which we need to perform profiling
- On the Trace Properties window, under General tab, select the blank template
- On the Events Selection tab, select Deadlock graph under Locks leaf
Let’s execute the below queries:
In the following order:
- Execute the query in the blue rectangle
- Execute the query in green rectangle
- Execute the query highlighted in grey
- Execute the query highlighted in blue
Notice that the process ids are shown on the information bar in SQL Server:
The dead lock will be generated on execution of the 4th step:
For later analysis, this can be saved from File -> Export -> Extract SQL Server Events -> Extract Deadlock Events…
Analyzing the deadlock graph:
- Oval with a blue cross represents the transaction/process that was chosen as the deadlock victim by SQL Server
- The ovals represents the processes, the one without cross represents the transaction/process which completed successfully
- The deadlock priority is set to default i.e. 0
- We also have log used, this represents the transactional log used. If the transaction has done a lot of updates, the log size will be larger. Hence to roll the a transaction which has done a large number of updates would take a lot of cost. In our case, the deadlock victim is the one with less transaction log, because that would take less cost. The rectangles represents the resource nodes.
- The rectangles represents the resource nodes.
- The HoBtID (heap or binary tree id) associated with the resource node is used to find the database object involved in the deadlock from
sys.partitions
view by using the following query:
SELECT object_name([object_id]) from sys.partitions
WHERE hobt_id = xxxxxx
- The arrows represent the types of locks we have on each resource node
- The notations X and S on the arrows represents the exclusive and shared locks

Extending Redback Authentication
In order to accomodate the many authentication security services used in various applications, it is possible to to implement pluggable authentication providers in the Redback security system.
Requirements
- redback-authentication-api must be implemented
- create an authentication implementation project under redback-authentication-providers
- org.apache.archiva.redback.authentication.Authenticator must be implemented
- redback-users-api must be implemented
- create a user provider implementation project under redback-users-providers
- org.apache.archiva.redback.users.User must be implemented
- org.apache.archiva.redback.users.UserManager must be implemented
- utility and wrapper classes can be implemented under redback-common
- e.g. $redback/redback-common/redback-common-ldap contains the utility class org.apache.archiva.redback.common.ldap.LdapUtils, and the wrapper class org.apache.archiva.redback.common.ldap.user.LdapUser
- other essential classes may be placed here as well, such as the org.apache.archiva.redback.common.ldap.connection.LdapConnectionFactory
Examples
While OpenId may be directly integrated to the authentication point of the web application, another option is to implement the redback api.
Here is something to get started:
- create the provider project redback-authentication-openid
- create the authenticator class, something like OpenIdAuthenticator that implements org.apache.archiva.redback.authentication.Authenticator
- create the provider project redback-users-openid
- implement org.apache.archiva.redback.users.User, something like OpenIdUser
- OpenId supports only the principal/username and password fields, so use dummy/default values for the unsupported fields (email, fullname) in this case.
- implement org.apache.archiva.redback.users.UserManager, something like OpenIdUserManager
- OpenId is a read-only authentication service, createUser(), updateUser(), deleteUser() may not be used
- various utility classes may be implemented in redback-common-openid
- OpenIdConfiguration may be used to encapsulate the following configuration properties (properties that may be specified in the security.properties file):
- openid.config.provider.url, where this is a url to one openid provider (support to many providers may come later, specified or via discovery, depending on the organization's security policy)
- OpenIdUtils class, may be implemented to normalize the User-Supplied Identifier to an Identifier that the OpenId Provider understands, e.g. redback username ('johndoe') to OpenId url-like identifier ('http://johndoe.openidprovider.com')
- OpenIdAuthenticationException that implements org.apache.archiva.redback.authentication.AuthenticationException
- OpenIdProviderFactory that takes the configuration from OpenIdConfiguration
- OpenIdProvider is where the OpenIdUserManager can verify a user
